This section briefly explains how to create a simple SplitButton component and configure its available functionalities in React.

Dependencies

The following list of dependencies are required to use the SplitButton component in your application.

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-splitbuttons
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons
        |-- @syncfusion/ej2-popups
            |-- @syncfusion/ej2-buttons

Installation and configuration

You can use Create-react-app to setup the applications.

To install create-react-app run the following command.

 npm install -g create-react-app

To set-up a React application in TypeScript environment, run the following command.

npx create-react-app my-app --template typescript

cd my-app

npm start

To set-up a React application in JavaScript environment, run the following command.

npx create-react-app my-app

cd my-app

npm start

Adding syncfusion packages

All the available Essential JS 2 packages are published in npmjs.com public registry. You can choose the component that you want to install.

To install SplitButton component, use the following command

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-react-splitbuttons –save

Adding CSS reference

Import the SplitButton component required CSS references as follows in src/App.css.

/* import the SplitButton dependency styles */
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons/styles/material.css";

Adding SplitButton component

Now, you can start adding SplitButton component in the application. For getting started, add the SplitButton component in src/App.tsx file using following code.

Add the below code in the src/App.tsx to initialize the SplitButton.

import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { SplitButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-splitbuttons';
import * as React from 'react';
import './App.css';

enableRipple(true);

// To render SplitButton.
function App() {

  return (
    <div style=>
      <SplitButtonComponent id="element"/>
    </div>
  );
}
export default App;

Binding data source

After initialization, populate the SplitButton with data using the items property. Here, an array of string values is passed to the SplitButton component.

import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { ItemModel, SplitButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-splitbuttons';
import * as React from 'react';
import './App.css';

enableRipple(true);

// To render SplitButton.
function App() {

  let items: ItemModel[] = [
    {
      text: 'Cut',
    },
    {
      text: 'Copy',
    },
    {
      text: 'Paste',
    }];
  return (
  <div style=><SplitButtonComponent  id="element" items = {items}> Paste 
  </SplitButtonComponent>
    </div>
  );
}
export default App;

Run the application

After completing the configuration required to render a basic SplitButton, run the following command to display the output in your default browser.

npm start

The following example shows a basic SplitButton component.

app.jsx
app.tsx
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { SplitButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-splitbuttons';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDom from 'react-dom';
enableRipple(true);
// To render SplitButton.
function App() {
    let items = [
        {
            text: 'Cut',
        },
        {
            text: 'Copy',
        },
        {
            text: 'Paste',
        }
    ];
    return (<div>
      <SplitButtonComponent id="element" items={items}> Paste </SplitButtonComponent>
    </div>);
}
export default App;
ReactDom.render(<App />, document.getElementById('button'));
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { ItemModel, SplitButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-splitbuttons';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDom from 'react-dom';

enableRipple(true);

// To render SplitButton.
function App() {

  let items: ItemModel[] = [
    {
      text: 'Cut',
    },
    {
      text: 'Copy',
    },
    {
      text: 'Paste',
    }];
  return (
  <div>
      <SplitButtonComponent id="element" items = {items}> Paste </SplitButtonComponent>
    </div>
  );
}
export default App;
ReactDom.render(<App />,document.getElementById('button'));
